No ban for CMC advertising

The government will ignore Lord Young’s recommendation to end the £40m advertising by claims management companies (CMCs) because there is no case to do so and David Cameron worked in commercial TV, the Guardian reports.

A Freedom of Information Act claim shows that the Legal Services Board (LSB) found the evidence does not provide a case to ban. Four other reports since May claim referral fees do not harm consumers, but improve access to justice by informing people of their rights.

David Cemeron worked for Carlton TV.
